Huayu: We're asking you to act, and you're playing a superhuman?

As Liu Shishi walked along the stone path through the grass, she felt the atmosphere around her was exceptionally solemn.

She originally thought that the important date Wang Weili mentioned was to meet a certain girl.

Unexpectedly, Wang Weili's final destination was Fushouyuan!

He's probably here to pay respects to some elder.

Feeling embarrassed, Liu Shishi thought to herself, and recalling the strange look the driver had given her when she got off the bus, she wished she could find a place to lie down too...

Due to the typhoon, there were not many taxis at the entrance of Fu Shou Yuan today.

If you stand alone in the rain and wait, you don't know how long you'll have to wait, and in a place like this, with rain and wind, it's a bit creepy.

With that in mind, Liu Shishi followed Wang Weili into the cemetery from a distance.

She was thinking that once she explained the situation to Wang Weili, they could go back together after he finished his prayers.

Along the way, Liu Shishi encountered several pedestrians who were returning home after paying their respects.

They were mostly dressed in black, walking past with serious expressions, and didn't give Liu Shishi a second glance because she was wearing sunglasses and a mask.

Having seen many people like this, Liu Shishi recalled that when she left earlier, Wang Weili was wearing a black suit with a white shirt.

How could I have thought that about him in the first place? I'm so damn stupid...

Liu Shishi angrily cursed herself in her heart for misunderstanding Wang Weili.

Recalling the past seven days of their "cohabitation," and how Wang Weili had never done anything inappropriate to her, Liu Shishi felt even more guilty.

Raindrops the size of soybeans pattered against the umbrella, making a crackling sound.

As they walked deeper into the cemetery, Liu Shishi felt the temperature drop, but fortunately, Wang Weili stopped ahead of her.

Looking at the custom-made tombstone, Wang Weili first placed the bouquet of white roses in his hand on it, and then took out a white cloth from his pocket and carefully wiped it.

He was also carrying a box containing red wine and wine glasses, so he had to hold the umbrella between his neck and shoulder.

Finally, feeling it was too much trouble, he simply threw the umbrella aside and squatted alone in the rain.

"I was thinking the typhoon would only reach northern Jiangsu and wouldn't affect this area, but I didn't expect the rain to be so heavy. But you probably won't care about that."

Wang Weili spoke in a relaxed tone, as if he were having a chat. Rainwater soaked his hair and streamed down his face, forming streams.

After wiping with the white cloth, he used it as a mat on the bluestone bricks and sat down.

"Same as always, I brought your favorite Château Margaux wine. If you want to change it sometime, remember to tell me in a dream... Hmm?"

The raindrops suddenly stopped, and Wang Weili looked up in confusion, only to meet Liu Shishi's pitying eyes.

The two stared at each other for a moment, then Wang Weili tilted his head and chuckled, "Looking at me like I'm a stray dog ​​isn't very polite, is it?"

"Heh~"

Although laughing out loud in this situation was extremely inappropriate, Liu Shishi still couldn't help but say it.

After laughing, she slowly squatted down and moved the umbrella toward Wang Weili, completely unaware that her back was gradually getting wet.

Wang Weili pushed the umbrella back to her: "I'm already soaked, it doesn't matter if I get wet a little longer, and it actually feels quite relaxing."

"...Aren't you going to ask me why I showed up?"

Liu Shishi wanted to apologize directly, but she felt she needed to lay the groundwork first.

Wang Weili glanced at her, unimpressed: "You show up, so why should I ask?"

"Um...who's in there?"

Liu Shishi seemed tongue-tied, stammering out just a few words, stumbling over them two or three times.

She managed to say it, but she didn't know where to look.

If there were other topics to discuss, Liu Shishi would definitely not want to talk about this.

Wang Weili slowly turned around, raised his eyes to look at the tombstone, and said in an extremely gentle tone, "It's my mother."

Liu Shishi swayed and almost fell to the ground.

She almost instantly recalled the scene from a few days ago when she was holding the binoculars and Wang Weili demanded that they be returned.

At the time, she wondered why someone who was always gentle and friendly would suddenly become so downcast. Now she knows the answer... I'm so damn stupid.

Wang Weili sat on the ground, seemingly speaking to Liu Shishi, yet also seemingly talking to himself:

"My mom used to say things like: 'If you eat something delicious, say it out loud; if you meet a girl you like, be brave and pursue her; take advantage of your youth and make as much of a fool of yourself as possible...'"

Thinking of Wang Weili's mannerisms during meals, Liu Shishi felt even more ashamed.

Wang Weili opened the box, took out a bottle of red wine and a corkscrew, and continued his narration.

"...If you don't say what you should say when you're at your most courageous age, even if you achieve great success and stand on the top of the Eiffel Tower drinking red wine, you'll still look back on the words you didn't say when you were young."

With a pop, the cork was pulled out and tossed into the box along with the bottle opener.

Two wine glasses were placed on the ground, and Wang Weili poured red wine to about one-third of the glass.

Seeing Liu Shishi standing there in a daze, he raised his glass and invited her, "Want a drink? This is the best one in my wine cabinet."

"Am I okay?"

"Do you need any qualifications to drink alcohol?"

"That's not what I meant. Wasn't this bottle of red wine prepared for your mother?"

"She likes lively atmospheres. In the past two years, only I came to drink with her. This year, with an extra friend, she will only be happier."

Wang Weili shoved a glass of red wine into Liu Shishi's hand, then picked up the remaining half-bottle and poured it around the tombstone.

When the last drop fell, Wang Weili shook the empty bottle, picked up another glass, and clinked it with Liu Shishi's.

Liu Shishi pulled down her mask and drank the red wine in her glass in one gulp. The tannins, which had not yet fully softened, instantly filled the surface of her tongue.

Sticking out her sour and astringent tongue, Liu Shishi noticed that Wang Weili hadn't finished his drink: "Why didn't you finish it?"

"I was taught how to taste wine in junior high school. Back then, I always had to spit out the wine, so I know very well what it tastes like when the tannins are too strong... tsk."

Looking at Liu Shishi's pouting lips, Wang Weili could only abandon his wine tasting theories and down his wine in one gulp.

"Hehe... Hmm!"

Liu Shishi chuckled twice, then immediately covered her mouth.

Wang Weili didn't seem offended at all. Instead, he explained, "Just laugh if you want! My mom said if you come to see her with a long face, it's better not to come at all, so she won't get annoyed."

"So cool..."

"There's something even cooler."

A look of reminiscence suddenly appeared in Wang Weili's eyes, and rainwater streamed down his hair.

"On the last day, I ran out to buy pork rib rice cakes, which is my mother's favorite snack. After she finished eating, she started putting on makeup and said she wanted to die looking beautiful... That day, she really was beautiful, more beautiful than any girl I had ever seen."

"..."

Liu Shishi looked at Wang Weili without saying a word.

The typhoon intensified the leaden cumulonimbus clouds, making the sky appear as if it were dark. In the distance, the city lights of Shanghai were just coming on. Wang Weili sat quietly in the cemetery, holding a wine glass upside down in his hand, the rosy red wine slowly dripping down.

"Hello, Auntie, my name is Liu Shishi, and I'm Wang Weili's friend."

Liu Shishi suddenly shouted out, and her honest, raised hand made Wang Weili pause in surprise.

The two looked at each other and laughed, adding a touch of life to the quiet corner.
